I was able to get a few decent captures, but I think I'll be trying again with a higher shutter speed/and or greater DOF. But for now, here are a few of the better attempts.    And just one of Momma...  Mike

Oldjackssparrows Jeeeez, incredible comments!  More info | Jul 02, 2013 16:46 | #6 Excellent set Mike, a great idea that turned out some really nice shots, real nice. I am on Ian,s boat, number two is superb, the feet tucked in coming in for a landing. The difference in one and two is pretty telling how they come to a quick stop. Great stuff Mike, very Well done all around even with the house in the shot, I think it helps. Donate to Pekka, help pay our server costs...

Thanks everyone---BG...I was on the fence about including the houses, but if I cropped them out then the images had no context (I felt). The bluebirds sure can hover, too!
